Comment
Hoffm.76Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Groschen coin from the Landgraviate of Hessen is that it features a unique design element - a small cross symbol located above the crown on the obverse side of the coin. This cross is believed to have been added to the design as a symbol of the Christian faith and to signify the coin's use as a medium of exchange in a predominantly Christian society.
